We are going Busch Gardens in Tampa,

FL!!!Well, not really but let’s pretend anyway…

Park Map

Busch Gardens Trip

•We arrive at the park at 9:00 AM. •Our class is going to split up in into two groups to go separate ways. •We will need to meet up • at 11:00 AM for the Iceploration show in the

Moroccan Palace Theater,• at 1:00 PM for lunch at the Crown Colony House, • and at 5:00 PM at the Myombe Reserve to get on the

bus to leave.

????????????????????????????????

How are we going to figure out how to meet up at the

appropriate places?

Let’s look at the map…

•Where is the Moroccan Palace Theater? • (G5)

•Where is the Crown Colony House? • (F6)

•Where is the Myombe Reserve? • (F4)

Group 1 wants to start out at the Congo

•Where is the Congo? • (A3)

•We said the Moroccan Palace Theater is (G5) what direction will Group 1 need to travel to get to the Moroccan Palace Theater for the Iceploration show? • (Over to the right 2 and Down 6)

Group 1 wants to leave the Theater and go to Egypt

•Where is Egypt? • (F6)

•What direction will Group 1 need to travel to get to Egypt? • (Over to the right 1 and Up 1)

•What direction will Group 1 need to travel to meet for lunch at the Crown Colony House?• (trick – lunch is in Egypt)

Now, Group 1 wants to visit Timbuktu after lunch.

•Where is Timbuktu? • (C4)

•What direction will Group 1 need to travel to get to Timbuktu? • (Over to the left 2 and up 3)

•What direction will Group 1 need to travel to get to the Myombe Reserve to get ready to leave? • (Just down 3)

Ok. Now it’s your turn. Group 2 wants to start at Egypt, then travel to Jungala, and finally finish in the Congo.

•Where is Egypt?

•Where is the Moroccan Palace Theater?

•Where is Jungala?

•Where is the Congo?

Ok. Now it’s your turn. Group 2 wants to start at Egypt, then travel to Jungala, and finally finish in the Congo. • What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get to the Iceploration

show at the Moroccan Palace Theater?

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from the show to Jungala?

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from Jungala to lunch?

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from lunch to the Congo?

• Finally, what direction will Group 2 need to travel to meet up at the Myombe Reserve?

Ok. Now it’s your turn. Group 2 wants to start at Egypt, then travel to Jungala, and finally finish in the Congo.

• Where is Egypt? • (F6)

• Where is the Moroccan Palace Theater? • (G5)

• Where is Jungala? • (B3)

• Where is the Congo? • (A3)

Ok. Now it’s your turn. Group 2 wants to start at Egypt, then travel to Jungala, and finally finish in the Congo. • What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get to the Iceploration

show at the Moroccan Palace Theater? • (Over to the left 1 and down 1)

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from the show to Jungala? • (Over to the left 2 and up 5)

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from Jungala to lunch? • (Over to the right 3 and down 4)

• What direction will Group 2 need to travel to get from lunch to the Congo? • (Over to the left 3 and up 5)

• Finally, what direction will Group 2 need to travel to meet up at the Myombe Reserve? • (over 1 to the right and down 5)

So what are we doing talking about maps in our math class?

• Believe it or not, we use a number map in math.

• This number map is called a coordinate plane and our Busch Gardens map was an example.

So what !?!

• Do you like playing video games?• Graphic artists use it to define positions on computer displays

and in virtual reality (VR) renderings.

• The system is also employed in mathematics, physics, engineering, navigation, robotics , economics, and other sciences.

So what is a coordinate plane?

•Well, it’s a graph or map made up of two number lines (remember these?) also called axes.

Coordinate Plane

• The coordinate plane has two axes and the point at which the two lines meet (or intersect) is called the origin and is shown as (0,0). • The horizontal line (left

and right) is called the x-axis and vertical line (up and down) is called the y-axis.

Coordinate Pair

• The pair of numbers that match up with the location on the map is called a coordinate pair.

• The first number (x-coordinate) in the pair corresponds with the distance traveled from the origin along the x-axis (right or left)

• The second number (y-coordinate) in the pair corresponds with the distance traveled along the y-axis (up or down).

Lets try this out

• Looking at your coordinate plane:

• What are the coordinates for the orange dot• (3,4)

• What are the coordinates for the pink dot• (0,7)

• What color is the dot at (4, -2)• Blue

• What color is the dot at (-4,2)• Green
